Kamiak High School has made several coaching changes for the 2008-09 school year. Here are the new head coaches and their predecessors, as announced today by Kamiak athletic director Jack Kniseley.

The new head coach is Cory West. He served as Kamiak’s junior-varsity coach the past six seasons. West replaces Greg Turcott, who last month accepted the head-coaching job at Archbishop Murphy High School.

The new head coach is Doug Baer, a former Kamiak volunteer varsity assistant who also coaches at the middle-school level. Baer steps in for Dan Hanika, who coached Kamiak for 15 years. This past season Hanika guided the Knights to the Western Conference South Division regular-season dual-meet championship.
